Critical illness insurance

Did you know that, on average, people are living longer? That is great news, but it also means the chance of being diagnosed with a critical illness, and surviving it, is greater too.

Do you need critical illness insurance?

You may be strong and healthy, and you may think you can beat any critical illness that comes your way. You may be right. Illnesses that would have ended in death just a few years ago are now being treated and even cured.

Surviving a critical illness can still create real financial hardship, and that is what this coverage is for.

Financial stresses to consider

  • Loss of income
  • Out of pocket expenses
  • Childcare, if the primary caregiver becomes ill
  • Travel expenses for medical treatments
  • Homecare services, both domestic and personal
  • Flights for family and friends to visit

How you can buy it

Bundled

Critical illness protection as a rider

Adding a Critical Illness Protection Rider from ivari to your new or existing life insurance coverage offers more comprehensive protection than what you could get from life insurance alone. Purchasing it as a rider means the coverage is attached to a life insurance policy or critical illness standalone policy. This is called bundling, and there is no additional policy fee for the rider.

Standalone

Critical illness protection on its own

Purchased on its own, Critical Illness Protection from ivari offers the same great features as our Critical Illness Protection Rider with the addition of the waivers that can help you protect your valuable policy.
  • You can purchase a new life insurance policy from ivari and add a Critical Illness Protection Rider to it
  • You can add a Critical Illness Protection Rider to your existing inforce life insurance policy or Critical Illness Protection standalone policy

Adding a waiver to your policy

Have you considered what would happen if you became disabled by a condition other than a Critical Illness Covered Condition and you were unable to pay your premiums? A waiver attached to your Critical Illness Protection policy would allow you to keep your valuable coverage in effect even if you became disabled.
Adding a waiver will help ensure that your coverage continues if you become totally disabled from something other than a Critical Illness Covered Condition and you are unable to pay your premiums.

Waiver of Premium

Keeps your Critical Illness Protection coverage in force if you become totally disabled and cannot pay your premiums.

Payor Waiver of Premium

Applies where someone other than the insured pays the premiums, keeping the coverage in force if that person becomes totally disabled.
